Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei taken off in ambulance after collision, head injury vs. Columbus

Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei is being evaluated for a head and neck injury after being taken off the field in an ambulance following a scary collision. The incident took place late in stoppage time in the Sounders’ 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew on Sunday.

In the 97th minute of the match, Columbus was awarded a free kick outside the box. But during the set piece, Frei was hit in the head with a Columbus player’s knee. The keeper instantly went down, with his Sounders teammates quickly calling over the medical staff.

After the collision, Frei appeared to go into a fencing response — a position taken by the body in reaction to head trauma or a concussion — indicating that the head injury may be severe.

Both teams gathered near Frei in the box before the ambulance was driven on the field. The Sounders crowd began to cheer Frei’s name as he was loaded into the ambulance.
